Securing of loads for road transport
Sichern der Lasten beim Strassentransport [en alemán]
Drivers securing loads on their vehicles often rely on intuition; this publication offers simple tables to indicate the appropriate direction and strength of stays for all types of load. After a few remarks on road construction, the forces exerted in the transport of loads are examined: longitudinal, lateral, and vertical forces, friction force at the resting surface of the load. Conclusions as to methods of securing the load and attachment and anchor points are drawn. A long section is devoted to wire ropes and chains, with tables indicating permissible loads according to rope or chain diameter and type of anchorage. Another possibility of securing loads by means of wooden chocks is shown with the relevant calculations.

Transport and assembly of prefabricated elements
Transport et montage des préfabriqués. [en francés]
Prefabricated units may now measure 7.80 x 2.70 m and weigh up to 7 t. Careful study must therefore be given to their transportation, to the layout of the assembly site and the way the work is carried out. Careful consideration must also be given to the training of the lorry driver, the assembly team and the crane driver. A well-trained team can assemble 45 to 60 prefabricated units a day, equivalent to adding a complete new storey to an average-sized building. The principal hazard is falls from great heights; it is impossible to use safety belts or harness because 8 to 10 men are working at the same time on the assembly site and constantly have to make way for each other. General personnel protective equipment must therefore be installed: outside scaffolding to be moved upwards at the same rate as the building, safety nets, external railings or temporary protection.
